Make the night before when you have a house full of company staying the night. It'll be ready when you wake up in the morning. All you'll have to do when you get up is make some coffee.

This is a really flavorful breakfast. I think the addition of peppers and onions to the O'Brien potatoes makes it really good. We all know potatoes + anything = wonderful!
